Putting The Chi In Chic: W Hong Kong
W Hong Kong
Located in West Kowloon, the hub of the buzzing financial district of Hong Kong, the new W Hong Kong brings a large dose of New York swankiness to the cosmopolitan Asian business capital.
The W Hong Kong marks the W brand’s third property in Asia and celebrates W Hotels’ ten year tradition of innovative design, signature amenities and warm, whimsical style. Offering a sensory multiplex of contemporary design and comfort, W Hong Kong embraces the heritage and mysticism of traditional Chinese culture.

Japanese designer Yasumichi Morita and Australian interior designer Nic Graham have created an environment that offers unique and complementary interpretations of mother nature in their respective spaces within the hotel. Elements of wood, stone, water, fire and metal used generously throughout the hotel’s colorful spaces and rooms seamlessly blend with the W brands signature design elements. The hotel also showcases original works by several renowned artists including Lee Bul from Korea as well as Daniel Crooks and James Angus from Australia.
As many Hong Kong structures go, the hotel’s best feature is its magnificent rooftop pool which is perched almost 700 feet above sea level, featuring a gorgeous butterfly mosaic created by Australian designer Fabio Ongarato. The pool looks out over the entire island and boasts one of the most breathtaking views of the city.
The W Hong Kong is truly an exciting addition to the W brand’s growing international footprint in the world’s most exciting cities and emerging destinations, including Barcelona, Istanbul, Athens, Milan, Shanghai and Santiago.
